Today, with the prevalence of vegetarianism, many health conscious men consider nutritious and less prone to weight gain soy products as a substitute for meat, leading to an increasing number of 'Mr. Bean'. However, not everyone is suitable for consuming soy products. For some men, eating too much soy products may damage their kidneys.
Firstly, traditional Chinese medicine believes that tofu and other soy products are mostly cold and cold. Therefore, men with weak stomach, spleen and kidney deficiency, yang deficiency, diarrhea, and frequent ejaculation and slippery sperm should not eat more to avoid worsening the symptoms of kidney deficiency and yang deficiency.
Secondly, men with renal insufficiency should also eat less soy products. Compared to animal proteins, soy products contain a large amount of plant-based proteins. If consumed too much, it will inevitably increase the amount of nitrogen-containing waste generated in the body, increase the burden on the kidneys, and further weaken kidney function. Therefore, patients with renal insufficiency should consume less soy products and increase animal protein intake to reduce the burden on the kidneys and avoid the accumulation of non protein nitrogen in the body.
A recent study by the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast, UK, also showed that soy isoflavones in soybeans are a plant estrogen. Supplementing soy isoflavones in moderation can prevent osteoporosis and prostate disease in middle-aged and elderly men. However, during puberty, men often consume a large amount of soy products, and excessive intake of plant estrogen can affect the development of secondary sexual characteristics, Making it appear less masculine or feminine can also lead to a decrease in sperm quality, leading to dysfunction of reproductive function in the future.

2. Men who come into contact with too much detergent can also damage their kidneys. Families should use less detergent to clean tableware and fruits and vegetables to avoid excessive intake of detergent residues;
3. Moderate exercise can delay aging, but the intensity should not be too high.
